Fatherly Men
There isn't much more fatherly than a man who takes a part in family planning!
1972 U.S. Issued to highlight the importance of responsible family planning. "The stamp aimed to address the issue of rapid population growth and promote awareness about birth control." (Microsoft Copilot)
DDR (German Democratic Republic, or East Germany)

Black and White is the theme for next week.
Beautiful blog
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping in!
DeleteTeaching philately to his children? The best father ever ;)
ReplyDeleteThese look like fathers who engage with their children!
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate to have an engaged father. He was 45 when I was born, and he was born in 1914, so for him to be as involved as he was was not the usual for the early '60s.
DeleteIn the past for Sunday Stamps, we had the theme of stamps about stamps. I agree, a great father to teach his children about stamp collecting!
ReplyDeleteyou really found two gems!
ReplyDeleteGreat ones for today.
ReplyDeleteTwo great stamps. In a way, the German stamp was way ahead of its time.
ReplyDeleteStamps I've never seen before - thanks for showing them!
ReplyDeleteLove this double dose of "fatherly men"! The US stamp tackles a serious topic with a responsible dad figure, while the German stamp captures a heartwarming father-child bonding moment over stamps. Great finds!
